"The real reason why I brought you over here was because I wanted to spend some time with you alone; in addition, to you getting used to me and that my intentions pertaining you were honorable. I noticed you were apprehensive the araw we first met at Quantrell's party, so I didn't pressure you. I wouldn't you right there and then, but I didn't know how to approach you", Michael replied. Maris heard every word Michael was saying while standing in front the full-length mirror looking at herself. "For the duration of your stay here, we are to get each very well, and if I told what I was planning you would've backed out, so I kept it a secret, and that is why I gave Hannah the araw so we could have this time to ourselves".

"You're right", Maris replied, "I would have sinabi no, and accused of you of trying to use me for sex, but you proved me wrong. Yes, I was apprehensive, and I was afraid to get involved with someone following my break-up with Vinnie, but showed me side of you I've never seen", Maris replied, "I was very when I left those nasty scars on your back when we made pag-ibig in the backseat of your SUV I was so ashamed of myself because I saw the blood sipping through your shirt". Seeing how she was still upset of being so rough with him during the impromptu lovemaking session, Michael put his around her with assurance, "Oh, baby, don't feel bad the scars on my back will heal, but the emotional and physical scars in your puso takes a long time to heal, but if you just put your trust me and see where this relationship goes, I assure you that everything will be all right", Michael replied, "I'm going guide you every step of the way in regards to this relationship, and the first is to feel and explore each other in many ways. Just five minutos nakaraan you were starting to loosen up when you removed your towel; in addition, to removing the towel around my waist sa pamamagitan ng way of teasing me as if you wanted me to touch you". Maris knew what Michael was telling her was the truth it was though he was pagbaba her mind, and she just looked at with mischievous grin on her face. "Do you really think I'm sexy", she asked, while gazing at herself in the mirror, "of course", Michael replied, "I pag-ibig it when you touch me especially when you made the first sa pamamagitan ng way of unbuttoning my sando and halik my chest as you were unbuttoning all the buttons all the way down to my bellybutton. No one has ever made feel that way before, and you enjoying being around me because I make you feel like a woman, don't you"?

There was no response from Maris for the reason Michael knew exactly how she felt about him, but was to embarrassed to tell him. "Well, I guess answer the answer yes", he replied, he could read her like an open book. "Tell me who is that beautiful woman you see in the mirror", he asked, "me", Maris replied excitedly. "Exactly, and that is the woman I've fallen in with and I hope to marry someday and that special lady is you"' he replied. When he saw she was finally starting to come around in regards to her height and appearance, Maris stared at her own reflection for five minutos as Michael stood right behind her.
